Jewelry anticipates a collaboration between wearer and maker. The act of wearing activates jewelry. Questions of authorship and value led me to make the Do it Yourself Rings series. Often the preciousness of an object, especially jewelry, has little to do with its market value. I have designed these rings to be made from an inexpensive and fragile material-paper. The preciousness of these rings will come from the experience of making them, and from your own hands. I hope that you enjoy making and wearing these rings.
